LATEST UPDATE
Daily and Weekly Quests, Annihilation mode
Complete Daily and Weekly quests in Profile > MISSIONS > QUESTS and earn EXP, Points and items automatically. New Annihilation mode: elimination rounds where the last team standing wins. The full original lobby music arrives with the next content update. The app now shows a maintenance page and app update notices.
More lifelike deaths and GM tags
Characters now fall according to where the shot came from, with dedicated animations for crouched and headshot deaths. Game Masters are marked [GM] in rooms, the kill feed, the scoreboard and teammate nametags. Defence mode is ready to play its original battle music when a tank is destroyed.
New ranks, sharper badges and a progression handbook
Rank badges have been redrawn for a cleaner look. Ten ranks beyond Hero take your journey through Ascendant, Sovereign, Eternal and Arcadia Apex. EXP progress and promotion rewards now agree across your profile and the server, with Points balances refreshed after matches. Explore all 62 player ranks, EXP milestones and bonus Points in the Handbook; special badges remain separate from player progression.
Explore the rank handbook
Bomb defusing now completes
In Bomb mode, holding defuse next to the C4 now runs to completion and wins the round for the defending team. Previously the defuse progress reset every second when the bomb timer synced.
Clearer Points and Cash balances
The account panel on the left of the bottom menu now shows Points and Cash on separate rows. Right-aligned amounts, clear labels and cyan and gold accents make balances easier to read while keeping navigation icons clear.
Cleaner, clearer navigation icons
Bottom menu icons now share consistent sizes, line weights and label spacing. A cyan accent makes the active menu easier to spot, including More and Community. Navigation uses fewer UI elements and stays as a single bar while pages load.
A transparent, compact kill feed
The kill feed now sits neatly along the right edge with compact rows and a transparent background. Team colors, weapon icons and headshot markers remain clear, with subtle player-name outlines for readability over the map.
A cleaner, compact profile that scrolls smoothly
Your profile has a refreshed navy and cyan design with compact statistic cards. Scroll through all your records with search controls and bottom navigation kept clear. The EXP bar fits neatly inside your player card, and your scroll position stays in place when statistics refresh.
Drop and pick up weapons, grenades work on practice bots
Drop the weapon you are holding with the new DROP button and pick up weapons on the ground just by walking over them. The weapon you hold falls when you are defeated. In Practice Mode your grenades now damage and defeat bots.
Change server, teammate names and fuller sound
You can move to another server from the channel list without logging in again. Teammates now show their names above their heads in battle, hidden while you aim through a scope. More sounds can play at once, so gunfire and footsteps no longer cut out in busy fights.
Dual weapons and weapon hand option
Paired weapons such as the Kriss can switch between single and dual in battle, and each keeps its own ammunition. Choose a right or left weapon hand in your account settings.
A new updater and clearer room navigation
Content downloads have a refreshed animated interface, clearer progress and reduced-motion support. The Invite popup adapts to the screen and stays above the footer. Footer navigation in a room now asks before leaving and waits for the server before changing pages. Improved M4A1 SE reloads, UTS-15 shell cycles and magazine positions after reloading.
Practice bots and more accurate scoring
Practice Mode bots move, shoot and take damage, with kills scored by the server. Improved kill handling restores room kill feeds and scores. Clan features gain member notes, invitations by nickname and emblem changes.
Safer iOS connections and battles
App sessions and battles now use Apple's native encrypted connections, with match access tied to the signed-in player. Shop and Inventory catalog handling is also improved. The TestFlight build for this version has been uploaded and is awaiting Apple Beta App Review. Public beta access will be available after Apple approval.
Compact HUD and restored firing sounds
Health and helmet status now sit at the lower left, with weapon, ammo and magazine status at the lower right. A magazine bar shows remaining rounds, with clear low-ammo, empty and reload indicators. Your own weapon and bot firing sounds are now included when a match starts.
A new combat status panel
A futuristic panel makes segmented health, helmet status, weapon names and ammunition easier to read. Critical health, empty magazines and reloading stand out, with nearby controls kept clear of the panel.
Clearer scores and match timer
Team scores now flank a centered timer with larger numbers and team color accents. Chat, radio and menu controls are grouped on the right for a cleaner HUD.
Clearer battle controls
Updated the health and helmet display, added a floating joystick, refined weapon sights and separated saved settings for each account.
Item details, at a glance
Explore descriptions, weapon specifications, character details and ownership from Shop and Inventory. Close the panel and return to your selected item.
